There are two possible causes for this error:

1. You have made changes to the file template (for example: removed header, removed or added columns, etc.).
2. The file template you are using has been downloaded a while ago. With new system releases it is possible that the template is modified with new elements.

In the internal logic, the system needs to identify the column headers to be able to match the content of a column to it's back end type and for this the integrity of the list is important.

Since there is an element missing in the template, the system could not identify the table header row properly and thus no data was transferred from the file.

You should download the file template again and make sure that no changes are made in the file structure.
